Bruce Arians On JPP: “He’s Fine.”

September 17th, 2021

Jason Pierre-Paul has a hand injury that limited him in Wednesday’s practice, kept him out of Thursday’s practice and today, per Bucco Bruce Arians, JPP sat out only as part of a veteran day off.

Hmmmmm.

Regardless, Arians said, “he’s fine,” when asked about JPP. So expect to see the Bucs’ only 2020 Pro Bowler going as wild as he can on Sunday.

As NFL fans know, a bad hand is not something that will slow JPP.
